Chris Allums' Kids

I did a photoshoot for my very good friend and client, Chris Allums. Chris is the "star" of the Dixi Furniture Commericals (October 24 post) that I put together a few weeks ago. He needed pictures of his children for their Christmas cards, and he needed them PRONTO! I was left a little disappointed because we had to do them all in the studio due to the weather. The temperature went from like 80 to 40 in a matter of a few hours plus, it had rained that day, and the wind was blowing so hard.
Anyways, the photoshoot had a dual purpose--to get Christmas pictures and to capture some new photos of his son James Christopher who is a very special boy. Please be praying for him--he is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Chris and his family will be moving to Manhatten so that James Christopher can undergo the process of getting the transplant done and recovering. I noticed he is a very strong young boy and is FULL of life. Even though I cannot imagine what he is going through, I know he is so strong. This boy has a black belt in karate! Again, please be praying for him and his wonderful family as they get ready for change in their lives.
As you can see, all of Chris' kids are VERY photogenic! Each one has a unique character and personality that shines through in these photos!

UPDATE on my life...and Glimpse of Jeananne & Joel's Wedding!
Hey Guys,
WHEW! I'm sorry for the lack of posting over the last few weeks!! I've been quite busy caught up in a whirlwind of traveling all over the country (or so it feels!). Here's the low-down:
**From November 6-9 I was in Chatanooga, Tennessee for a photographers' convention--with some HIGHLY talented photographers from all over the U.S. (pics still to come).
**November 10-12 I spent some time in Atlanta, Georgia. That weekend I had the opportunity of shooting a wedding alongside Liana Lehman at the Biltmore. Crystal Goss from Arkansas was also there to document the event. To see a few pictures from that wedding, check out the post on November 15th.
**I arrived back home from Atlanta on November 12th and spent the next week with my good friend Tim Co., working hard here in Monroe, Louisiana. Tim and I took bridal portraits of Jeananne, and we were able to get some awesome shots--check some of them out on the November 16th post. We also photographed her wedding on Saturday--the pictures of which are featured in this post!!
**After being at home for a week, I flew out on November 20th to Scottsdale, Arizona to film a wedding alongside the gifted photographer Rebecca Bouck. I spent nearly a week in Arizona. The wedding we captured was a Sikh ceremony for a beautiful couple--Sikh ceremonies usually last about 4 days! Coming in the next week or two, I will have some footage to show you of this wedding!
OK, now for a few shots from Jeananne and Joel's wedding that I shot with Tim on November 18th. This wedding was truly beautiful wedding, and I was honored to work with such a wonderful couple! Joel is from South Africa, and many of his family members flew in for their special day! These are just a few of the images...hopefully soon we'll have more to show!

Bridal Shoot of Jeananne
Today was a bridal shoot with the beautiful bride Jeananne. My friend Tim, who is also a photographer, is in visiting from Florida this week. Jeananne's wedding is this weekend, and Tim will be shooting the wedding with me. I don't normally photograph weddings, but Jeananne is a family friend. Tim and I have had an awesome time so far this week, and today was no different! We went around Monroe and got some great pictures. Jeananne is bubbly, adventurous, and full-of-life! She was so easy to photograph!
Below are a few samples. To view the rest of the pictures in a slideshow, CLICK HERE!
